I just wanted to share this with you.
A friend sent it to me the other day. I find it fascinating; almost hypnotic.
…….but maybe I’m just weird.

A new month and an old post
It’s normally a sure sign that a TV series has finished scraping the bottom of the barrel, and has started to pick the splinters out from under its finger nails.
You know what I mean… like when one of those obnoxious smug bastards on ‘Friends’ announces in an annoyingly whiny voice
“Hey! Remember that thanksgiving when Chandler got stuck up his own arse?”
…… and you know that for the next 20 minutes you’ll see most of the supposedly funny bits from an episode first screened 37 years earlier.
Well……

Big thanks to ratty.
…for ’twas the aged artiste himself who devised, designed and doodled our new header.
It took some persuasion from the other three of us to convince him to include his own mug in the rogues’ gallery, and having now seen it, I can understand his reluctance.
He does have other half-arsed, hare-brained schemes up his snot-silvered sleeve, so watch out for alternative versions cropping up from time to time.
Also – in order to underline our commitment (and there are plenty who reckon we should be committed) to technology based reader interactivity, please feel free to submit suggestions for content of the speech bubbles. Send any smartarse ideas to madhatterscafe@gmail.com where we will vet them for suitability, and then select either the finest example of wit and repartee, or the only one to appear. This is of course, assuming we can actually find anything in amongst all the WorPress and Google+ shite that clogs up the inbox on a daily basis.

Hypocrisy
I’m not claiming that Charles Taylor is a good bloke, nor that he doesn’t deserve to be jailed for this part in the crimes and atrocities committed in West Africa.
He isn’t, and he does.
However, the following quote from Judge Richard Lussick, summing up at Taylor’s trial in The Hague, really made my blood boil:-
Judge Lussick said that as Liberian leader, Taylor had extended “sustained and significant” support to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
So, if that’s now a war crime, when can we expect to see Cameron, Sarkozy and Obama up in front of m’learned friend Lussick for their part in providing “sustained and significant support” for the rebels in Libya?

The Bitch is Dead
Charles Colson died Saturday, aged 80
His passing was not universally mourned
“ding dong the bitch is dead“
“One of the few ex-cons that did more harm after getting out of prison. Far from doing good, he was a theocrat and virulent homophobe. I wish his family well. But let’s not distort history by turning this man into some kind of hero. He’s not“
“An evil corrupt bastard is caught. He repents, finds Christ, dies, and goes to heaven. It’s like a fairy tale, but in real life. And Christians are accustomed to believing fairy tales, so it’s perfect!”
Who was Charles “Chuck” Colson?
He was described as –

Note for foreign types: Barking is a town in Essex.
Additional note for foreign types: Essex is a county in the South East of England
Further clarification for foreign types: England is a small country just to the South of Scotland
Final note for foreign types: If you don’t know where Scotland is …. there’s no fucking hope for you.

Animal magnetism
I know that Ratty claims to have it, but here’s a rodent that really does.
Personally, I reckon the nearest that Ratty has come to magnetic fields – animal or otherwise – is experimenting with the right hand grip rule.
